Pirates! is the only recent release that's been making me consider getting a gaming quality PC going again.

Something tells me that a 800mhz duron w/ 256meg pc100 ram and 32meg shared video wont cut it.-

Cant afford new comp though which sucks

Look at the refurb/open box deals in the upper right.

It's not so much the cant find a deal cant afford - it's the broke from everything else in IRL thats the main problem.

I wouldnt mind playin Pirates!, but i can make due with my SNES playing Ogre Battle, or Aerobiz Supersonic, or Uncharted Waters.

Still... 6months maybe after the moving dust settles i might be able to swingaround a couplehundred for a barebones syst

Arggghhhh, it's a great game, but I want to go against (or with) some of you guys and gals!

Playing Spanish now, got duke from those peeps and the dutch, the French are non-existent in Tortuga area, and after I wed the big bewbie woman from Puerto Cabello I will turn against Spain and work for the English and French. Just curious as to if I will still have a wife if I wipe Puerto Cabello off the map and make her English?

If I could get a direct address to Sid, how many people would be interested in a Pirates online game (as long as it is an expansion pack, not $50)?

I for one would like it, as think of all of us treekiies cruising the Carib.!  ;D

I'm going to hunt down some people, heehehehehehehehe... No names mentioned as I like you all, whether we agree or not.

A bump for Jacks good, if rather far-fetched idea. :)

It may be far-fetched J.C., but think about the best selling games now? JTL, BF2 and others, they are all ONLINE games! The only reason Pirates was top ten was because of us older folks who remembered the days when Gunship, Pirates, Civ, Wing Commander and others ruled the gaming charts.

I'm going to write Mr. Meier a nice letter and explain the many plusses that would be found in a online Pirates game. I even dare say that everyone who has enjoyed the Pirates we have now would love to see an online expansion pack.

One feature I would like to see is a KILLER hurricane, not those pansy storms they have now. AI in ship to ship should be harder than hades, and the frigates should be rare, and the ship of the line should be maybe one every 5 years in a visit to the Carib, but I think it is already like that, as I've played many games so far and I've seen only one ship of the line.

In case you haven't found them already, here are some fansites for Pirates!

http://www.piratesahoy.net/

I read about how to get a Ship of the Line appear on one of these sites.  It said that you should blockade an English or French port and they will keep sending pirate hunters out to fight you.  Eventually, if the game year is late enough, they will send out a Ship of the Line.  I've never tried this so I don't know if it works.

I'll be getting it soon, right now I've real life calling me bigtime. I am staying on my executor's butt about getting a fast lawyer to straighten out the 3 remaining houses to be sold. I also have a lawyer for my SSA disability, I thought it would be backdated to the date VA confirmed Sarin exposure, but I was wrong, SSA only goes back one year, so I've pissed away 800 plus in extra income since Aug 2002 because I did not do my research on it fully. At least that ball is going. I've GOT to do something about these antique Chippendales and stuff that I inherited, one I do not care where I park my butt, as long as I'm comfy, and two I can do much better on the markets than in appreciation of antiques. The paperwork on them is in storage with only executor access (he lives in SLC, Utah) so I have to find an EXPERT in early American antiques, not some joe blow. If it takes a flight to Britain and auction at Sotheby's then so be it, I want max value for those babies.

I also have to write some letters to some companies I deal with, as they have the money and power to get things that will benefit their business whereas I do not get any opportunities unless it is borderline legal.

I'm also researching the new energy plan as Seth and others know us vets can get veterans small business loans, and us disabled vets HAVE to be awarded a certain percentage of Federal contracts with different agencies, and my idea is alternative electricity for military bases, something that anyone can tell you who has lived on one is VERY expensive for our govt. and taxpayers.

Last but not least, a letter to Sid with our requests for Pirates, and then I will also have to buy a new joystick (USB) so that I can play JTL when I purchase the Total Experience.

I look forward to flying with or against some of you all soon!  ;D
